For Mrs. Li's birthday banquet, all the guests who came to the banquet naturally brought birthday gifts.
At this moment, Fang Ruowei held a beautiful box and delivered it to the old lady. Her words were clever and sweet, "Grandma Li, this is the birthday gift I prepared for you. I wish you happiness as good as the East Sea and longevity as the Southern Mountains."
Mrs. Li took the gift box and opened it. Inside was a high-quality pearl necklace. Each pearl was round and shiny and looked valuable. This pearl necklace would probably cost seven figures to get.
The surrounding guests secretly exclaimed, "This is not cheap! I'm afraid it will cost nearly eight figures."
"Fang Ruowei's family is in decline, but she is still willing to spend so much money to buy such good things as gifts?"
"Don't you even look at who it is? If you please Old Mrs. Li, the Fang family will become powerful overnight. Isn't that just something that the Li family can easily do?"
"It seems that Fang Ruowei still has lingering feelings for Mr. Li! I just don't know what kind of birthday gift Qiao Yunshu, the nominal young lady, can give, let alone a shabby thing that I can't get rid of!"
Hearing the whispers of the guests, the smile in Fang Ruowei's eyes deepened.
She looked at Qiao Yunshu with a pure and innocent expression, "Sister Yunshu, I heard that you also carefully prepared a valuable gift for Grandma Li's birthday. You might as well bring it out to open everyone's eyes."
Qiao Yunshu narrowed her eyes slightly, Fang Ruowei's words were really clever.
Calling Mrs. Li "Grandma Li" in public was just to tell these guests that she was not an ordinary guest and that she had a very close relationship with the Li family.
Furthermore, Fang Ruowei clearly knew that her financial resources were inferior to hers, so how could she prepare a gift that was more valuable than hers. What she said was nothing more than raising the expectations of the guests and Mrs. Li first, and then disappointing everyone when she opened the gifts.
Qiao Yunshu smiled slightly, "In terms of price, it is actually not as expensive as Miss Fang's, but in terms of intention, they are the same."
Tong Yao's eyes flashed with surprise and appreciation. Although this daughter-in-law came from a bad background, her character and reaction skills were pretty good.
Qiao Yunshu's gift box was slightly larger and extra heavy. It was carried by two servants and placed on the table. The guests were all curious as to what was inside.
Mrs. Li opened the box with her own hands, and the true identity of the gift was revealed to everyone.
It was an expensive piece of art carved from sandalwood material, with cranes and pine trees symbolizing longevity carved on it with exquisite carvings. This piece of art was so lifelike that many guests couldn't help but get closer and take a closer look. When they got closer, they even smelled the light sandalwood fragrance exuding from it.
Qiao Yunshu's tone was neither humble nor arrogant, "I thought that the old lady believed in Buddhism and worshiped Buddhism, so it was just right to give her sandalwood. So I found this natural sandalwood material. I carved it myself and soaked it with sandalwood essential oil, which is good for sleep. Okay, it’s just that my hands are clumsy and the workmanship is a bit rough, I hope the old lady won’t dislike it.”
The price of sandalwood wood and sandalwood essential oil is indeed not cheap, but it is nothing to the Li family, and it is not as good as Fang Ruowei's seven-figure pearl necklace, but it is indeed thoughtful.
He not only considered Mrs. Li's worship of the Buddha, but also considered her sleep, and the thought used in it was delicate enough.
Mrs. Li held her hand with a smile on her face, "This child has been married to the Li family for so many days, why is he still so polite? You should call me grandma together with Han Ting!"
Qiao Yunshu was shocked!
She had always been afraid that the Li family would not accept her so much, so she called her more politely. Unexpectedly, the old lady actually offered to call her "grandma". Does this mean that the old lady Li sincerely accepts her as her granddaughter-in-law? Already?
The smile on her eyes and brows was very obvious, and she sweetly called out, "Grandma!"
The guests around are all people who are aware of current affairs. Now that Mrs. Li has recognized Qiao Yunshu as her granddaughter-in-law, they will definitely stop talking about Qiao Yunshu's faults and immediately change their words to praise her hard work of sandalwood carvings. .
"This wood carving is not easy. The old lady really has a good granddaughter-in-law!"
"It's the old lady who is kind and kind to the younger generation, so the younger generation is so filial!"
"Such a harmonious family atmosphere makes so many families secretly envious!"
Hearing the compliments from the guests, Fang Ruowei couldn't hold back the smile on her face and almost broke one of her teeth.
This Qiao Yunshu! Why do you manage to win Old Mrs. Li's favor unexpectedly every time? ! !
It was obvious that the things she gave each time cost a lot of money, and they were many times better than the pile of scrap metal that Qiao Yunshu sent!
She forced a smile and said to Li Hanting, "I'm a little dizzy, go out and get some fresh air."
The man raised his eyes and glanced at her, nodded, and then his eyes fell on Qiao Yunshu. She smiled and her eyebrows were curved, which was quite cute.
Fang Ruowei came to the secluded backyard, casually pulled up a handful of precious flowers in the garden, regarded it as Qiao Yunshu, and crushed it to pieces to vent her anger.
"Cousin." Jian Rou was worried about her, so she followed her out. She was indignant, "Qiao Yunshu is so scheming, he is really opportunistic! He is also really shameless! It is obvious that you and Brother Li are a couple who love each other, she But he wants to step in!"
Fang Ruowei looked sad, "What can we do? Although Han Ting and I are in love, she has already married into the Li family, and she is the nominal Mistress Li."
"What Miss Li? Brother Li doesn't even like her." Jian Rou leaned into Fang Ruowei's ear and whispered, "I bribed the servant in the laundry room of Li's house and found out from him that except for the wedding night, Brother Li and That vixen Qiao Yunshu has never had sex with you! What does this mean? It means that Brother Li still has you in his heart, but he just doesn’t want to disobey the old lady!"
Fang Ruowei's eyes lit up, "Really?"
Jian Rou nodded, "Is this fake? I have a good idea."
She carefully took out a small package of something, "This stuff is colorless and tasteless. As long as you eat a little bit, you will instantly become horny. It took me a lot of effort to get it..."
Fang Ruowei's breathing quickened, "Isn't this... bad?"
Although she said this orally, she couldn't help but took the small packet of medicine. The scene of her and Li Hanting having sex and falling in love appeared in her mind, and a blush appeared on her face.
Li Hanting is a responsible man. If they had that kind of relationship, he would definitely not let her go. He would most likely divorce Qiao Yunshu and marry her again.
By then she would be able to get her wish and become a real couple with Li Hanting.
